Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for transporting and dispensing medications for a patient according to a medication schedule for the patient. A smart container from a pharmacy is received at the patient's site and the container is checked to make sure that the container was delivered to the correct patient site. The smart container contains a memory device that contains identification information of the patient, dosage and treatment instructions for the patient. This information and the medication were checked for compatibility before the smart container was delivered. The identity of the patient at the patient's site is then checked and the patient performs on or more biometric tests before the medication is dispensed by the smart container. Upon taking the medication and providing video proof thereof, the smart container is returned to the pharmacy.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for identifying suspicious behavior. Requests to provide digital identification (ID) document(s) to a computing device of a verifier by a computing device of a consumer based on a validation context are detected. Responses to such requests are also detected in which the computing device of the consumer provides digital ID document(s) to the computing device of the verifier. A score is then generated corresponding to a likelihood of fraud in the transaction involving the consumer and the verifier using an artificial intelligence model based on the validation context, the digital ID document(s) requested to be provided by the computing device of the consumer and the digital ID document(s) provided to the computing device of the verifier. The computing device of the verifier may then be informed that there is evidence of fraud based on a value of the score.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for verifying a user meets identification (ID) requirements for an associated activity or event. A request for a set of digital ID documents to be provided to the computing device of the verifier by the computing device of the device holder is detected. A response to the request is then detected which provides only a subset of the requested digital ID documents. Alternative digital ID document(s) are then identified to replace the digital ID document(s) that were requested but not provided by the device holder. An instruction is then issued to the computing device of the verifier to request one or more of the identified alternative digital ID documents from the computing device of the device holder in order to complete the verification process in determining if the device holder meets the ID requirements for an associated activity or event.

Abstract: Approaches presented herein enable optimization of a plurality of resources connected within an Internet of Things (IoT) network. More specifically, usage of a first and a second resource of the plurality of resources connected within the IoT network is tracked. This usage comprises a task and a time at which the task is performed for each of the two resources. An anticipated task at an anticipated time based on the tracked usage of the first resource is identified. An anticipated capacity at substantially the same anticipated time is also identified on the second resource based on the tracked usage of the second resource. Excess capacity is generated on the first resource by transferring the anticipated first task to the second resource for the anticipated time. The excess capacity is designated for use by an arm's-length party. A load from the arm's-length party is then assigned to the excess capacity.
